IDENTIFY predicted that with favorable
weather the eighteenth annual fair of
the 5. w. Wis. Industrial Association
would be the most successful ever held
by the association. The weather was

der of the week. Large entries have
been made in all departments, the ag-
gregate number being 1885, which
is more than was ever before made at
a fair in Mineral Point. The display

and fine exhibit Of nearly all kinds of
machinery. 4 fine field of horses is
entered for the races, which promise
to be unusually speedy and spirited
We go to press too early to give any
detailed report of the fair; but if pres
ent indications hold good it will be the
finest industrial exhibition ever held
in this section. Thursday and Friday
will be the big days of the fair of 1887.

KOUTS CRASH,
The Railroad Evidently Trying to Con-
ceal the Truth.


CHICAGO, Oct. 13.--Special dispatches to
the Chicago papers this morning as to the
extent of the Chicago and Atlantic horror
confirm the Associated Press report direct
from Kout the day of the disaster The
Inter- Ocean has significant interview with
DIR. I. &. Mcclure, of Boone Grove, who,
with Dr. Mckee, of Kout, was active in
aiding the sufferers at the wreck. "Those
remains which were recovered" said DIR.
Mckee, ''are of persons who were sitting on
seats near windows and fell outwards when
the charred framework fell to pieces, but
those who were sitting inside and whose re-
mains fell between the rails were burned to
powder and not vestige of them, except a
few pieces of bone, could be found
INTENSE HEAT.
"The heat between those rails was sufficient
to have destroyed all the remains When the
charred mass cooled il would go to powder
by the embers falling on it, and nothing
would ever be known of them ! was told
by one of the wreckers that he saw little
heap of bones, and this was corroborated by
the statements of others, and, doubtless,
that was all that remained of those who fell
between the tracks, for when the heat is
sufficient to make the rails underneath red
hot and to warp and bend them into every
conceivable shape, it is almost as intense as
a crematory. DR.. Mcclure states the num-
Der burned to death was at least sixteen or
eighteen. OF the wounded he speaks def
nitely, and his total is even higher than the
press estimate"
A HEROIC WOMAN.
Dr. Mcclure says: At Miller's Hotel in
Kout after the accident there were seven
ladies and ten men, making seventeen in
all He got the name and address of the
lady mentioned in the press report as hav-
ing done most heroic work at the wreck in
helping others to escape. It is Mrs. John
Wensinger of Carey, Wyandotte county
Ohio
j. W Frederick who lives at Kout, and
failed to get aboard the train at Hammond,
said he knew there were over
fifty passengers aboard the train when
it left Hammond. The Daily Ncws has a
special from Wabash saying Lew Thorn, a
well-known travelling man, interviewed the
porter Of the year Pullman car on the train
wrecked at Kout. The porter stated that
the tickets in the possession of the conductor
showed that nineteen passengers were miss
ing. The porter himself counted fifteen
bodies all burned TO a crisp.
